The Wine The Wine
Australia
Region:McLaren Vale
All three varieties come from some quality vineyards in the McLaren Flat and each parcel was fermented separately in stainless steel open top vats before a spell in seasoned oak and blending to taste in February 2024. This is still a young wine, the tannins are a touch grippy, but the overall feeling is one of balance. Shiraz countering the juiciness of the Grenache and obviously the 1% of Mataro holding it all together. This isn't what might be described as a showy wine, nothing is overdone here, but it is openly fruity and there's a depth to the flavour profile that keeps giving.

5OS Winemaking Team
The 5OS Project celebrates the creative diversity of modern Australia. The winery, located in the heart of the McLaren Vale, is where the team, headed up by Steve Grimley, focus on crafting truly unique wines on a very small scale. Sometimes just a few hundred bottles, so be prepared for small moments of disappointment when something sells out. We say small moments because the range will always have interesting backups for you to go at. The wines in bottle will wow you with their intensity and character and the packaging is nothing short of incredible, often adapted from artwork produced by talented local artists. To sum it up, the 5OS Project is an ever-evolving collection of wine releases, hand-crafted by a team of incredibly talented, elite individuals.
"Grenache is the fruit driver for this wine, for its rich texture. A touch of oak influence from the Shiraz and a small percentage of Mataro for floral lift completes the picture. Drinking beautifully right now but, with patience, it will age gracefully for the next 8 to 10 years as it builds more savoury complexity." - 5OS Winemaking Team, Winemakers.
